LakeObserver
Call for Community Science Volunteers!
Lakeobserver volunteers monitor changes in the shoreline, fish and wildlife, water quality, water events, invasive species, and more! These observations can be taken from the shoreline, a dock, or on the water!
To record your observations
Use the LakeObserver app (click the link below to download) and submit observations as frequently as you are able to! Observations after a significant event such as an algal bloom or fish kill are especially important! Add information to any of the sections in the LakeObserver app that seem relevant to you!
If you have any problems with the lake observer app, you can submit observations at this google form below.

This Spring was hot and dry. Little precipitation and lack of spring melt contributed to a lower water level at Pigeon, and the drastic temperature changes caused ice to push around the lake.
June brought a full week of some much-needed rain which helped raise the water level. Lots of people have commented on the vast amount of perch and minnows compared to previous years
July consisted of hot days and stormy nights. Some algal blooms were spotted around the lake but did not amass anything significant.
Thank you to the volunteers who are helping to collect monthly observations at the lake! As a result of their effort collecting information on lake and shoreline changes, we can better understand Pigeon Lake.
